Commentary
Mêmes coins que l’exemplaire de la collection Spaer (Spaer, n° 2813, pl. 183). L’attribution à Antioche n’est plus certaine, nous pourrions avoir affaire à un atelier itinérant. Le style du portrait de notre exemplaire est complètement différent.
Same corners as the example in the Spaer collection (Spaer, no. 2813, pl. 183). The attribution to Antioch is no longer certain; we could be dealing with a traveling workshop. The style of the portrait in our example is completely different.

Historical background
SYRIA - SELEUKID KINGDOM - PHILIP PHILADELPHUS
(93-83 BC)
Philip Philadelphe, the son of Antiochus VIII, had to fight against Antiochus X (94-83 AC.) and successively lost his three brothers Antiochus XI, Demetrius III and Antiochus XII by fighting against the son of Cyzicene. He was finally driven out by the population of Antioch, tired of the perpetual Seleucid dynastic wars and replaced on the choice of the population by Tigranes, king of Armenia, who installed a new administration in Antioch (83-69 AC.).
